The Black Riding Prince

29. Perverted

RANDU smiled awkwardly, unkindly at all the tavern visitors who noticed them. Until he scratches his head that doesn't itch, or there's actually a nail. But the hell time, a guy as handsome as Randu has fleas? Ami would not be willing if the prince of his dark horse is admired by cute people in black that makes itchy.

"Have you not eaten yet? Watch his fingers go with it." Tanya Randu who saw Ami was very cool to stick her fingers to clean the remnants of durian.

Embarrassed? Maybe, but a little. Randu preferred the figure of Ami who never covered her identity by pretending to be a graceful girl and behaving like a noble princess. Randu likes the Ami who is, who does not pretend well to keep people interested.

"Just wash your hands first." Ami's Speech. He also took water from a bucket provided by the shop owner.

"Aren't they Bandung, Neng?" Ask one of the visitors.

"No, sir." Answer Ami smiled.

"Come on." Take Randu. "Mango, Kang, Tea, we go first." Pamit Randu is polite.

"People..."

"Where else are you going? I'm full, ready to explore Bandung." Ask Ami confidently.

"Who would take a walk."

"Keep saying come on, what do you mean?" Ami did not want to wear his helmet in protest because he was disappointed that Randu did not invite him to explore the city of Bandung again even though he still wanted to.

"home." Randu put on Ami's helmet. Ami is getting sullen. "Ga need to manyun, someone will cut his lips."

"Lo told me to go back to Jakarta? It's gonna be a night, Randu. You ain't afraid I'm kidnapped or robbed or-"

"Ga anyone wants to kidnap lo, you eat it a lot like to visit again if anyone is practicing." Randu cut Ami's speech with a joke.

"Ihh, really have a guy! I'm not going to chase you here! Go back to Mom's house!" Ami exclaimed annoyed but dramatized.

Instead of being angry, Randu instead forced Ami to sit in the bonnet of his motorbike and immediately drove the iron horse. He did not want to argue longer with the unstable girl in front of many people because he had seen some people start to cry because they felt funny with Ami's speech and behavior.

"Hand!" Tell Randu because Ami does not want to hold on even though he drove quite fast.

Ami did not obey the orders of the guy in front of him, he was still upset because the guy invited him home. Free I bring a change of clothes if the ends directly back again. I came here on Saturday so I could go on a Sunday night. Uh, instead, tell him to come back.

Just as he was leaving earlier, Randu led Ami's hand to embrace him. Ami rested her head on Randu's back and tightened her embrace. Randu stopped his iron horse as he felt his back warm up.

Ami was reluctant to let go of his embrace on Randu when the motorbike he was driving stopped. Besides, he didn't want the guy in front of him to see her cry.

"Lo cry?" Tanya Randu looked back because Ami did not want to release her hand from Randu's waist. Pandu took off his helmet.

"Gue ain't going home. I'm free to bring a change of clothes if I'm not here. In vain dong my back carry the load but ga dipake."

"Who told you to go home?"

"Lo!"

"Gue didn't tell lo-"

"So you said go home!" Ami sulking.

"Not going back to Jakarta, Yang. Go home to my house."

"Eh, try repeating!" Pinta Ami jerks.

Randu was a little misbehaved, he himself did not realize if he called the girl behind him with the name 'Yang'.

"Ga there's a repeat because it's not a school!" Speak Rapidly.

"But I was horrified! And I'm so cute!"

Ami pressed her lips to kiss Randu's cheek, but..

Dukk!!

"Aww!!" Ringis Ami when her front helmet hit the recently worn Randu helmet again. "It's got the helmet on again!?"

"But I'm going to fail!" Ami protested.

Randu did not reply, he chose to re-apply his motorbike to drive the pounding on his chest. Ami would not want to hold on to Randu again because he did not want to fall.

Randu stopped his motorbike in the yard. He was a little surprised when on the porch of the house there was already a girl waiting for him accompanied by Lisna, his sister. The sky was dark because the sun had sunk a few hours ago.

"Where the hell is it!? I have been waiting for this!" Ask the girl Ami did not know in an angry tone.

"It's none of your business." Answer the cold.

"Teh Intan since the magrib nungguin, A." Tell Lisna.

Ami doesn't like that girl! Who her? He dared to yell at the prince of his dark horse as if Randu was his slave.

"Who is he!?" Ask a girl named Intan with a clear tone that shows her dislike.

"Known, I'm Ami. Friends but messa Randu since High School."

It's not Ami's name if she's intimidated. The famously labile and barbarian girl would not die of style just because of a girl waving war flags at her. Enough Randu that can make him blush and misbehave, it is not always. Cuey nature and sometimes his sotoy turned out to help him hide his nervousness in front of others.

"What do you mean by friend but affectionate?" Ask Intan again.

Ami pinched Randu's arm, embracing him affectionately. "Yes rich gini. Friendly right?" ami deliberately leaned her head on Randu's shoulder.

"Randu, clear to me! Who her!? Why is he hugging you!?" demand Intan.

"More than Ami said." Reply Randu meaningfully.

"meaning?" Intan doesn't understand.

"Lo ain't stupid, is he? I said, we're friends but friendly. And Randu said that we were more than I said. Do you know that dong sampe?"

Intan was still staring at Randu and Ami alternately because he did not understand too much.

"Duh, my hands are gatel. The same thunderous noise as kuntilanak than the same lo. If the same kuntilanak I can jam him ampe satisfied!" Ami said impatiently.

"Kuntilanak is serem, Tea. Kok Teh Ami dare." sidelines Lisna.

"Later I tell you." Reply Ami briefly.

"Randu, we tea must talk." pinta Intan tried to pull Randu's hand.

Ami brushed off the hand of Intan who was about to pull Randu. "You want to talk, by the way. No need to huddle. I used to shoot Randu in public place not use bumping."

"Well! Pisan cool trick.. Be brave! I'm not brave, sieun." Lisna interrupted again.

"Eh, what's that si-sieun?"

"Fear, Tea. Fear of rejection."

"You're scared or embarrassed, you're not going to know what the guy likes."

"Don't follow him, Lisna. Perverted!" Randu.

"What everything? The proof is that I am the same now. If I am lost, you are also lost! It's great for people!" Ami Protest.

"Ramp... How am I being cut?" intan Rajuk.

Ami and Randu both turned their heads. "Because..."
